    I never thought I’d find a channel full of Suns fans. Been a Suns fan for over 5+ years. I’ve subscribed and will be watching your vids.

    I cannot tell you how much I have appreciate this video!! I saw him playing in my town in Sicily in the mid ‘80s with a selection of American players who were probably looking for a team in Europe. I fell in love with his game, his energy and his style! You could tell straight away as he entered the court how he brought a different energy to the game. He was amazing!!!

    My high school team played against ron’s team. They beat us in the state final played in the old Boston Garden in 1971. The following year, I got to play against him briefly in a regular season game. He was always everywhere on the court. An awesome athlete and a nice guy, too.

    He went to my old HS but 40 years before me and people in my town were still talking about him. And how athletic he was he has the javelin throw record at my school and also had offers for pro soccer . What an athlete!

    He is the best stealer of all time. Almost 2 steals per game in just 21 minutes playing time. Better record from Stockton Pippen, Jordan, Alvin Robertson, Ray Richardson

    My heart sank when the Suns traded Ronnie Lee and I have always thought they would have won the 79 NBA championship if they had kept him...With Davis, Westphal and the rest they could really score points, also with Lee's energy the Suns were so motivated and hungry to win it all...bad, bad trade and unfortunately the franchise has never won the title while lesser teams have.....

    The 3 hardest playing players I've ever seen: Dennis Rodman, Russell Westbrook and Ron Lee.You have 3 guys like this on your team....youre gonna win SOMETHING.Ron Lee and Mike Newlin led the league in floorburns.They left alotta skin on the floor.

      I'll back you up on that. We had him in Detroit and he was an insane hustle player. The Pistons had another guy like that before him in John Mengelt. We loved them both.

      I mean we did get a good player back in the trade, but no clue why they traded a rising star. He could have been one of the all time great Phoenix Suns
